Peacock is welcoming back considered one of its biggest movies of the previous few years this weekend.
Twisters initially premiered on Peacock in 2024, before departing for an prolonged stay on Prime Video. Now it’s returned to its first streaming home, hopefully for an extended time period.
This film was just the primary pick for Watch With Us‘ roundup of the three best Peacock movies to binge-watch this weekend.
Our remaining selections are an older disaster film and a romantic comedy with a really large solid of familiar faces.
‘Twisters’ (2024)
Twisters opens with the intriguing premise that even a number of the worst storms can potentially be rendered harmless. Unfortunately for Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones), her experiment is such a disaster that it leaves her team trapped in the midst of a tornado. Years later, Kate and her colleague, Javi (Anthony Ramos), are the one survivors from that incident. She’s out of the storm-chasing game until Javi ropes her back in.
Out in the sphere, the pair meets a storm-chasing influencer, Tyler Owens (Glen Powell). whom Kate initially despises. She thinks Tyler and his team are only using the tornadoes to chase web clout and fame. Over time, her position about Tyler softens, and it’s thing too, because the most important storm they’ve ever seen is on its way. And if Kate and Tyler don’t work together, then individuals are going to die.

‘The Perfect Storm’ (2000)
This week, we’re going from tornadoes to hurricanes with the very well-made disaster flick The Perfect Storm. The film is predicated on the true story of the Andrea Gail, a fishing ship that went out to sea in 1991 and encountered some very dangerous weather. Captain Frank William “Billy” Tyne Jr. (George Clooney) has had a foul season at sea with little to point out for it. And if this last trip of the season doesn’t work out, then he’ll be in dire straits.
Due to the efforts of Robert “Bobby” Shatford (Mark Wahlberg), Dale “Murph” Murphy (John C. Reilly), David “Sully” Sullivan (William Fichtner) and the remainder of the crew, Billy can hold his head up high after they return to shore with their catch. That’s, if they will return to shore. While they were out on the water, two massive storms combined into a fair greater hurricane. The Andrea Gail and her crew are tough, but that is beyond what any vessel was meant to face. That’s when this story becomes a battle for survival.

‘Dog Days’ (2018)
We could have picked one other disaster movie for the third and final film of the weekend. But after the intensity of The Perfect Storm, the most effective approach to settle back down is with a lightweight and breezy romantic comedy like Dog Days. Consider this as Love Actually with dogs, as the assorted stories are loosely connected through the love the characters share for his or her four-legged friends.
Many of the romantic sparks on this flick come from TV host Elizabeth (Nina Dobrev) and latest co-host, Jimmy (Tone Bell), despite initially being at odds. There’s a love triangle between shelter owner Garrett (Jon Bass) and Tara (Vanessa Hudgens), who’s dating a veterinarian named Mike (Michael Cassidy). But essentially the most heartwarming relationships are the friendship between pizza delivery guy Tyler (Finn Wolfhard) and an elderly widower, Walter (Ron Cephas Jones), in addition to the bond that grows between a married couple, Grace (Eva Longoria) and Kurt (Rob Corddry), and their newly adopted daughter, Amelia (Elizabeth Caro).
